Mae Sri Catfish Chilli Paste - Nam Prik Pla Duk 200g

Mae Sri Catfish Chilli Paste 200g

Mae Sri Catfish Chilli Paste (น้ำพริกปลาดุก แม่ศรี, nam phrik pla duk mae si) is a ready-to-use Thai catfish chilli paste (nam phrik pla duk, น้ำพริกปลาดุก) from Mae Sri. Catfish (pla duk, ปลาดุก) is one of the most widely eaten freshwater fish in Thailand — a rich, full-bodied fish with a distinctive earthy depth that makes it particularly well-suited to bold, spicy preparations. In Thai cooking, catfish is commonly grilled, fried, or incorporated into chilli pastes and relishes, where its robust flavour stands up to and complements the heat of dried chillies, garlic, shallots, and shrimp paste. Nam phrik pla duk is a traditional Thai chilli paste that showcases the catfish’s rich, earthy character in a spicy, aromatic paste — one of the more distinctive and flavourful fish-based nam phrik varieties. Mae Sri is a trusted brand for this style of condiment. The 200 g jar is a generous household format suited to regular use.
